I am starting to replace a couple of meals with protein shakes. I bought a jug of EAS Whey Protein from Target. It is not very good. I was wondering what powder other people drank. Any help would be great!

Hey Jeff.... I am also NOT a fan of protein shakes, and have yet to find one that I do like. I did purchase some "Protein Bullets" and although they are sweet, they are not bad. Keep them in the frige and they are "almost" like jello. They come in several flavors. Also, someone gave me the idea of Carnation instant Breakfast (sugar free), with a cup of skim milk it is 14 grams of protein. (AND it tastes good!!!!)
Good luck,
Sweeny

I like the Labrada Lean Body. Also like Muscle Milk, but it doesn't fit some folks profile being more of a meal replacement than a protein supplement.

I used 4 ozs. of Ensure, 4 ozs of milk (I have to use soy cause pre-op I was a little lactose intolerant. Post-op, I can't have it AT ALL!!!), and some unflavored protein powder. I am still trying to find a shake I like but it's hard since I can't have sweetners.

I use chocolate Isopure.  I suggest that maybe you go to GNC and see what samples that they have.  Good luck as some are just awful!!!! ~Ann

I am using the 100% whey from gnc.  Its called pro performance i think.. Its in a red bag or tub.. They are pretty good.. just dont buy the orange n cram.. GNC is good if u buy something u dont like they will take it back as long as you have the sales recipt.

I like the Whey Protein Isolate (28 grams  Protein) from GNC.  Vanilla can be mixed with fruit, Sugar Free Syrups, yogurt, etc.  The Chocolate actually tastes like good Chocolate Milk to me....not bad!  They still have a little protein smell but after the first sip they are fine. 

I also like EAS ready to drink ( carb control) from Walmart.  Strawberry and Chocolate Fudge are pretty good.  They do have an aftertaste!

I'm a big fan of the Whey Gourmet protein powders.  They are low carb (2-3 gm) and have great flavors like chocolate peanut Butter, Vanilla Ice cream, Blueberry shake, etc...  I like that I can mix them with water and they still taste great, IMO.

I use the Vanilla flavored Body Fortress powder that I get at Walmart. It's tasty and can be mixed with a lot of things...
